Hayleigh, Shaela, and Shelby return with stories of mental health and working in a hospital during a pandemic and to analyze episode 8 of Grey’s Anatomy while being interrupted by Hayleigh’s cat, Lexie Grey. The secret life of Derek Shepard is almost as mysterious to Meredith as his black scrubs are to us. Christina can’t escape pregnancy reminders and reminds us of the importance of freedom of choice. Alex is slightly less devil spawn and George struggles with his self-esteem. Izzie Stevens would love to vanquish all psychics if it was the last thing she did. Join us this episode for a deep dive into the medical cases of this episode and analysis of the characters of Grey’s Anatomy. Buckle in for a long one!

On our most recent episode of Pick Me Choose Me Podcast Me, we discuss biases in the health care system and advocate for these issues to be addressed.

The first topic we address is addiction and the fair treatment of pain. We must remember that people who suffer from addiction are human beings that are in need of support and aid, not judgement and suffering. Below, we linked a page for Government of Canada that provides links for specific help services regarding addiction.
https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/substance-use/get-help/get-help-problematic-substance-use.html

The second topic we address is gender and racial biases in healthcare. Though the episode does not address these topics specifically, it is currently very relevant and we would be doing a disservice by not addressing it. Currently, protests still continue against systemic racism and police brutality. Yet, systemic racism extends much farther than the police system and has significant impacts in the health care system as well. As Canadians, we sometimes can brush off these issues as American problems and choose not to acknowledge that Canada also has issues with racism, and our indigenous communities, in particular, take the brunt of it. WE CANNOT FIX A PROBLEM IF WE REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM EXISTS. We have a responsible as a country and members of the global community to be aware the of system racism, sexism, and bigotry that are prevalent in our society.

Hello Listeners,

Our most recent podcast discusses the topics of organ donation. There is an organ and blood donation shortage in the USA and Canada and you can help. Most of our listeners are from Canada, USA, and Australia so below I'm providing links on how you can donate blood or register to be a donor. Please remember to have discussions with your family members about what you would want. Listen to the podcast for a more detailed discussion on the topic.
